Tips to avoid stress
Aim to exercise regularly. Exercise dissipates the adrenaline that builds up in stressful situations and leaves us feeling with a sense of achievement and control.

Eat healthily. Ensure you are getting adequate vitamins and minerals in your diet. One recommendation that very few of us manage is to eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables daily.

Make sure you are getting enough sleep. People need varying amounts ranging from 5 or 6 hours to 10 hours a night. By trial and error you will know how much sleep YOU need to perform at your best.

Learn to think clearly and set yourself realistic goals and objectives. Work through one problem at a time in a logical way.

If you feel a panic or anxiety attack coming on, think through the problem by breaking it down. Imagine the worst that can happen. Nine times out of ten it then appears less serious.

Say NO to tasks and projects you cannot take on. People will not think any less of you. After all they have not got ESP.

Remember that you are human and mistakes are inevitable. Learn to view mistakes as learning opportunities and problems as challenges.

Practice positive visualisation. Think about a time or a place when you were relaxed and at peace. It could have been on a holiday or a day off. Try to recreate the situation again in your mind, thinking about the sights, sounds and smells you experienced. Visualise yourself back into the scene. You will find that after 5 to 10 minutes you feel much more relaxed as your brain does not know the difference between imagining a situation and actually being there. Some people call it day dreaming but visualisation is a very powerful tool in reducing stress and anxiety.

Take time out for yourself. Make sure you are doing some things in your life because they are important to you, rather than because you ought to or should do. You deserve to take a break occasionally, do not feel guilty enjoy it.

Accept your strengths and weakness and like yourself anyway. If you do not like yourself you cannot expect anyone else to. Understand also that you cannot change anybody else - only yourself.

Practice physical relaxation techniques. Progressive relaxation contracting and relaxing all the body parts is a very effective way of reducing tension.

Sports Massage is an alternative method of helping to relieve tension and to relax you.

Answer 3

Which world do you want to live in, yesterday's or tomorrow's? Which would you rather inhabit, the world of how things ought to be or the world of how they really are? Comparisons are all well and good, just as long as they are valid. When, though, they are unrealistic or irrelevant they create far too much confusion. If what you've got doesn't measure up well against what you once had, you clearly need to change it. But if it merely fails to match some imaginary expectation, you may want to think twice. ¬¬ ¬¬*¬¬ ¬¬*¬¬ ¬¬*¬¬ ¬¬*

Answer 4

Tension tamer tea found at the grocery store. Warm bath. Cuddly soft P Js and fuzzy blankets, cuddling with animals. Clean sheets. Nice soft realaxing music and nice little private queit places in a home or garden just alone for you.

Meditaion, yoga, exercise, quiet time alone.

If it is really bad medical intervention with medication and therapy. Combined with the things above.

Answer 5

Talking to people, mostly people who are in similar situations as you and who can actually or have been in your shoes. People on the outside don't tend to see what's really happening. Also, take time for yourself. Turn off the phone, etc. and do what you like to do without being disturbed.
